adamboltJan 7, 2015American Sniper contains the best performance I've ever seen by a rubber baby. Rubber Baby is so good, it plays a boy, a girl, and an Iraqi infant over the course of the film while maintaining it's inanimate appearance. It's astonishing to watch.

I struggle to find the controversy in this unremarkable, shallow war film filled with missed opportunities. American Sniper (its title perhaps the most propagandist thing about it) gives us a dramatised…

LucyFeb 4, 2018The creation of the American psyche: one of the most important films of the decade. When we see Chris Kyle's real memorial at the end, it isn't a memorial for Kyle but a memorial for America. Raindrops fall like tears over an American flag. Goodbye to morals. This…

From a movie standpoint, this is a fantastic one. However, I have mixed feelings. This movie glorifies someone who undoubtedly saved many people, but this was at the expense of going into a country that we shouldn’t have been in in the first place. I strongly (look at comments)
It is impossible to tell this man’s story properly, and this movie proves that. Ignoring critically controversial moments from his life in order to only show him as a hero seems quite disingenuous. Also, lazy filmmaking from Eastwood (see “prop baby”). Feels like a lie.
Good movie considering I don’t like war movies honestly. It was alot more sad then I expected. Bradley copper was really good in this. I will say I felt like the ending was out of no where just felt like it needed five more minutes But, overall really good movie would recommend.

Im not a huge military guy, but this movie wanted to make me enlist, it’s a very powerful piece but it’s so cool. Really delves deep into the mind and behavior of a soldier
In many ways, "American Sniper" is new territory for Clint Eastwood while still retaining his signature hallmark of grit and heart.

Metacritic
It shows Eastwood, at 84, in his finest directorial effort since the 2008 Gran Torino, while painting on a much broader canvas. Utterly in command of his epic material, he films the Iraqi action in terse, tense panoramas with little cinematic editorializing, as if he were an old Greek or Hebrew God who is never surprised at man’s ability to kill his fellow men, or to find reasons to do so. Directing 34 films over 44 years, Eastwood has honed his craft to its essentials: make it seem as if the story is telling itself.
It’s a crackerjack piece of filmmaking, a declaration that he’s (Eastwood) not yet ready to be classified as an Old Master, that he can out-Bigelow Kathryn Bigelow. Morally, though, he has regressed from the heights of Letters From Iwo Jima (2006). In more ways than one, the Iraq occupation is seen through the sight of a high-powered rifle. The movie is scandalously blinkered.
Cooper, to his credit, rarely flinches, never chest-thumps and never loses his cool, even when Kyle is starting to lose his. It’s a masterful interpretation of a man with a lot more on his mind and blood on his hands than he was ever inclined to let on. And it’s a performance worthy of Eastwood himself — 50 years ago.
